Marcus Aemilius Lepidus the Younger

Marcus Aemilius Lepidus the Younger (died 30 BC) was the only son of triumvir Marcus Aemilius Lepidus. Lepidus the Younger was betrothed to marry Mark Antony's daughter Antonia in 44 BC, but the marriage was later broken off. He eventually married Servilia, the daughter of Publius Servilius Vatia Isauricus, and he became a senator of the Roman Republic under Octavian. In 30 BC he was executed for taking part in a conspiracy against Octavian, and Servilia committed suicide by swallowing hot coals.
